Once Again Rural Conservatives Want Government To Bail Them Out

If it's mostly Hispanic, is it really part of America?

Well, if the intent was to point out that there are precious few libertarians in the Republican party, I can't disagree. Same can be said of the Dems. But the suggestion that libertarians are promoting state welfare is sort of like saying a vegan restaurant is serving steak.

He has no evidence to support his claims, of course. He just assumes libertarians are supporting this.

Well, I assume the intent was to point out that some Republicans, who might otherwise like to call themselves libertarians, are doing this. But yeah, the article is just trash propaganda.

I noticed they used word "unfettered". Socialists love that one for some reason. I think they're just really into fettering. Have you ever looked up the meaning of "fetter"?

fetter
fettered; fettering; fetters
transitive verb
1: to put fetters on : SHACKLE
2: to restrain from motion, action, or progress

There really is nothing quite like boot-strapping “independent” rural conservatives and libertarians going to Big Government asking for yet another handout. The latest example comes courtesy of Politico, which reports on the plight of rural communities losing airline service.


The story starts deep in the heart of Texas, in the border community of Del Rio, population 36,000. American Airlines pulled out of their “international” airport, forcing people in the area to drive nearly three hours to the nearest airport in San Antonio.



Imagine thinking that “major companies want rural America to thrive.” Republicans are the party of laissez-faire economics, where business is supposed to have unfettered and unregulated access to whatever the hell it wants. And sure, conservatives have thrown out much of their “pro-business” rhetoric in their current “woke woke woke” hysteria, but demanding big corporations provide air service to communities as small as 36,000is a new level of disdain for market economics.

Look at that, those libertarian and conservative elected officials, with their overwhelmingly conservative/libertarian electorates, are now begging the government to bail them out. And if such a thing were to happen, where would the money come from? From the same places that have been subsidizing rural America for far too long—the urban cities they loathe so much.

They could always hitch a ride on one of those Amish contraptions headed to town.

Southerners are Freeloaders.

skewey you just lost another screw with this wacko babble....
Isn't this just a real disadvantage to shipping illegals throughout the country?

 

[Woodznutz]

Politicians are obligated to complain about such things. It's called CYA. "This is outrageous and we're going to introduce legislation to fix it." First and last words ever heard on the matter.

Meh, it's like NOtVA....They shit those golden tax revenue eggs so yeah, the rest of the state should take full advantage of those useful idiots.


Del Rio, a predominantly Hispanic community......So OP, are you saying that Hispanics are now suddenly conservative? I take that as good news.

Just wait a generation or two.....Hispanics will replace blacks to the point where they are a minority afterthought, sort of like Native Americans but without casinos to offer.

 

[Woodznutz]

Maybe someone can start an air or bus shuttle service to get people to that major hub three hours away. Sounds like a business opportunity for someone.

 

[Devils_Advocate]

LOL....A airline desert in the desert.

I really don't count Tejas as a normal red state.

Skew knowledge of Texas is from the Kos… It is like his knowledge about being a Libertarian is also from the Kos…

Hispanics have always wanted to reclaim the southwest believing it was stolen from them.

The Black’s in NY are already feeling it and damn mad that their freebies are going to the illegals now.

Well by the looks of things they are mostly West Africans and Haitians stumbling about on the street.
